I’m a bit confused; I thought prevention costs were also related to failures, but now I’m not so sure if they count as external.

I practiced a similar question, and I think external failure costs are things like warranty claims. So, A seems right to me.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember that incoming inspection is more about preventing defects, so it probably isn’t an external failure cost.

I think external failure costs are related to issues that occur after the product is delivered, like warranty costs. So, I might go with A.

Ugh, quality control questions are the worst. There are so many different types of costs to remember. I'm just going to read through the options carefully and try to eliminate the ones that don't seem right.

Okay, let's see. External failure costs are things that happen outside the company, after the product has been sold. Warranty cost definitely fits that description, so I'm going with A.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know external failure costs are related to issues with the product after it's been sold, but I'm not 100% confident on the specifics. Guess I'll have to think it through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. Warranty cost is definitely an external failure cost, since it's a cost incurred after the product is sold.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. There are a few options that seem relevant, but I'm not sure which two are the correct answers. I'll need to carefully read through the requirements again and think through the different features available in Azure Blob storage.

I'm a bit confused here. If Service A is not part of the service composition, how can its vulnerability affect the composition? I'm not sure about this one.

This is a tricky one. I think Clientless and Cisco AnyConnect are the correct answers, but I'm not 100% certain. I'll make an educated guess and move on.

B) Incoming inspection? Really? That's an internal cost, not an external one. These options are trying to trip me up, I can tell.

Hmm, I'm conflicted between A) Warranty cost and D) Appraisal cost. Appraisal costs are also related to external failures, right? This is tricky!

But warranty cost is incurred after the product has failed externally, so it makes sense for it to be considered an external failure cost.
